Dogfall in Production
A Drama in Two Acts · Getchell Award Winner
Dallas’ most famous suicide doctor is on trial — but not in any courtroom. Mike Howard, a right-wing vigilante, has appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner. Two men. Two worldviews. One darkening room.
Political and religious ideologies collide as the two urban titans grapple for the political high ground, even for their very lives. When the doctor’s darkest secret comes to light, neither man escapes clean. Dogfall is an unflinching exploration of the right-to-die debate in America — laced with humor and driven to its frightful conclusion.
